The Soft Cavalry is a fresh project helmed by Steve Clarke, musician, tour manager of Slowdive and husband to Rachel Goswell, with whom he teams up on the project's ethereal debut single, Dive, a beautiful piece founded on psychedelic shoegaze goodness, spaced out Americana and dreampop elegance.

"I’d always had ideas but never felt that anything I had to say was worthy of anyone’s attention, let alone my own," states Clarke. "I wish that I could have done this 15 years ago but, in reality, I simply couldn’t have. But I’m not one to overly wallow. I’d rather plough the various levels of confusion into songs."

The song is also the opening number to The Soft Cavalry's upcoming debut LP which releases July 5th, 2019 via Bella Union.

"It’s recovery versus new doubt," Clarke says about the full length. "I’m there, in the middle. The word that kept coming back to me was 'resilience'. With the right mentality and people around you, especially family, we get through, and find a level of hope."
